Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir: Akumatized

Our niece loved these books. She’s a huge fan of the series.

I liked it

My granddaughter was very excited to receive this book. She loves the series and the cartoons.

[This is based on the E-Book Version I received from the publisher through NetGalley. ] Marinette is a middle school student who one day learns she has the power to transform into the Superhero known as Ladybug. Along with her ally, a fellow superhero named Cat Noir, they use their powers to save Paris from the villain known as Hawk Moth, who seeks to steal their powers. This is another one of those pseudo-comics that take screenshots from a TV series and paste the dialogue over top. These kind of books are hard to review. On one hand, this book does what it sets out to do- tell the story of the television show in a comic book format (specifically episodes 10 through 12 of season 1). On the other hand, that's all it does. There isn't much more outside of that. However, to it's credit this one does more than just put the screenshots in the same size box 6-8 times and call it good. This tries more for a legitimate comic feel, with different sized boxes and some overlayed on others. The screenshots they used are expressive and well chosen for the dialogue. However switching from the animated format to this static image book does have it's problems. The action scenes are where this book fails in it's execution. Not for lack of trying but simply because an animated medium tends to be able to take shortcuts in quick action scenes. Slow those down and put them into static images, it gets a bit confusing. And since the action scenes take up quite a bit of the story, it's definitely a very big downfall of this book. I would recommend the television show before I would recommend this book. However, if you're a big fan of the TV show or have no access to the actual animation, this is your best bet. Kids who love the show would probably get the most enjoyment out of this.

Disappointed by this book. My 4 year old loves the TV series but this book is just too complex for him - it's basically a comic probably appropriate for kids around 7+ years of age, which is strange, as the TV series can easily be followed by a pre-schooler.

We are big fans of Miraculous Ladybug, so naturally we love the comics. They are nicely done and the stories are interesting. Kids love reading them by themselves. Highly recommend.

I love this book....and the show too...but some parts are cut out like take for example,in the episode DARK CUPID... Chloe' showed a poster signed by him to all the girl fans of Adrien agreste.....that part has been cut out but good book I love it, quality is great...

The kids love this animation

El libro es escrito en ingles. Bien para educación bilingüe. Como fotos de pantalla, no nuevos dibujos, pero para mi hijo bien.
